American Idol's Top 26 Perform: Which Singers Earned Your Vote On Night 1?

Ryan Seacrest may have oversold Sunday's American Idol as "the most dramatic night of your lives," but it was still a night of great music, which is all we can really hope for.

Following last week's (mostly complete) reveal of this season's Top 26, the first half of those lucky few took the stage at Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii, where they were personally mentored by Allen Stone. And it wasn't just the judges they were hoping to impress this time around.

That's right, friends, we've finally reached the part of the Idol journey where our opinions actually count. Voting technically began at the start of Sunday's east coast broadcast and will remain open until Monday at 6 am ET. Of the 13 singers who performed tonight, only 10 will move ahead to form this season's Top 20.

As always, Idol fans have three ways to vote for their singers of choice: online at AmericanIdol.com/vote, on the official American Idol app, or by texting the contestant's given number to 2153.

So, which 10 stand the best chance of remaining in the competition? Read on for a breakdown of Sunday's performances, then vote for your favorites in our poll below and drop a comment with your overall review of our first night in Hawaii.

Even Shrek's Fairy Godmother would have to tip her hat to Kristine's strong performance of "Holding Out for a Hero," which had the judges bopping along — if not fully rocking out — until its bombastic finish.

The guy's got range! Steele's bouncy, fun take on Jack Johnson's "Together" revealed a less country, more playful side to this fan favorite.

Just when we thought we couldn't love him more, Wilson dedicated his performance of Dan + Shay's "Speechless" to his wife, reliving their wedding (aka the best day of his life). His smooth vocals oozed romance, and he's definitely becoming more at ease on stage.

Stone was psyched about Kaeyra's song choice, En Vogue's "Don't Let Go," and she did not disappoint, with off-the-charts vocal trickery and an overall engaging performance.

PJAE put every ounce of his signature stank on Jill Scott's "Golden," a song about reclaiming your freedom, which he connected to his personal weight loss journey.

Smith saw Wilson's tribute to his wife and raised him a tribute to his grandma Lucille, performing — what else — Little Richard's "Lucille." The judges were having a blast watching Smith tear up the stage, bringing a showmanship that's truly on its own level. Whether America wants to get on that level will soon be revealed.

Faith's swag, rasp and Stevie Nicks-level coolness were in full force for her performance of Chris Stapleton's "You Should Probably Leave," which is exactly the opposite of what I'd say to her at this point in the competition.

Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down" took the mood down a bit, but only for a second. Once the judges got a taste of Busse's beautiful sound, including those several chilling runs, they were stunned.

One of the night's most surprising choices was Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," for which Allen suggested that Peay throw his hat. His vocals were strong, but Peay ultimately decided not to toss his good luck charm, instead only briefly taking it off his head.

Serenity paid homage to Minnie Riperton, the godmother of whistle tone, with that timeless classic "Lovin' You." I've always enjoyed her voice, but this was simply jaw-dropping. What even was that incredible final note?! Richie was absolutely correct in calling her voice "Martian-like."

Madison took a slight risk with Maren Morris' "The Middle," a more upbeat number than we're used to seeing from her, but she seemed pretty comfortable come showtime.

We got the full Lucy Love experience tonight, folks. Her take on Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It" was electric. The head banging? This queen is a rock star!

The stars truly aligned for Sunday's last performance, with Tongi taking the stage in his home state for a beautiful, breezy rendition of Spawnbreezie's Don't Let Go." The island vibe was strong with this one.
